Leader Mitch McConnell blasts rival Florida Senator Scott on WHAS Radio 👁️
When Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell joins me on WHAS Radio, people tend to notice. Millions of online impressions followed McConnell's 9 minute phone chat two days after President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech. After discussing the Chinese spy balloon incursion, we jumped into U.S. involvement in the Ukraine/Russia war. And then...the real war started. McConnell BURNS Rick Scott: ✅confirms “that was the Scott plan” to sunset SocSecurity & Medicare 🔥“I think it will be a challenge for him to deal with this in his own re-election in FL: a state with more elderly people than any other state in America” On @terrymeiners @840WHAS: pic.twitter.com/yAIhVLb6LY — Joel Lawson (@JoelLawsonDC) February 10, 2023 McConnell blasted Florida Senator Rick Scott on WHAS after I asked him about Biden's

A sit down with Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell
I always enjoy a face-to-face chat with political leaders and other newsmakers. There is a comfort level in sitting across the table from an interview subject. Watching their body language, eye contact, and hand gestures adds extra dimensions that a telephone chat cannot provide. LISTEN TO TERRY MEINERS AND MITCH McCONNELL Mitch McConnell is the longest serving U.S. Senate leader and longest serving U.S. senator in Kentucky history. We've done a ton of phone interviews during his 38 years in office. Studio visits produce better content. Arriving 15 minutes early at WHAS' iHeart studios, Senator McConnell and I were able to talk about a few things off air before we opened the mics. He laughed when I asked if "Cocaine Mitch" was planning
YOU GOT CHEESED 🧀 Packers thump Vikings to hang onto playoff hopes
The Green Bay Packers were all but dead a month ago but their January 1st thumping of division leading Minnesota injected new life into Packerland. If Green Bay can beat the Detroit Lions in the final regular season game, an uncharacteristic 9-8 record will earn the Packers a playoff berth. If the Packers lose to Detroit, I don't expect that we'll see Aaron Rodgers play another NFL game. Here are his postgame comments. The most telling are his final thoughts. This boy is all about head trips and spiritual influences in his real life.

As Justin Thomas reflects, St. Xavier receives its greatest recruiting video
Two time PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas recently returned home to Louisville for his Justin Thomas Foundation junior golf tournament at Harmony Landing. Thomas also appeared at the home of Valhalla co-owner Jimmy Kirchdorfer to preview the 2024 PGA Championship to be held at the iconic Louisville course. In a freewheeling interview in front of about 100 guests, Justin and Jimmy touched on the professional golfer's ongoing dedication to Saint Xavier High School. Thomas is a 2011 graduate of the highly acclaimed Catholic high school. School officials had to be thrilled with the words Thomas rolled out in praise of his alma mater. “I’d do anything to have a week back at St. X…it got me prepared for a great place in life.”
